Crown Dead

"So how do these slates speak? I'll poke."

"Answer—you can poke your elbow again and see if it's gone."

"...!?"

As if hearing the threat from Mizhi, Xianyu withdrew his finger with a face full of cold sweat.

"Answer—the sinful and useless goddess."

"Eh!? Did you name me??"

Ishtar showed an expression of disbelief, and pointed at himself at the door in doubt.

"The standard of beauty is ever-changing but absolutely unique. Black is better than white, and the earth is higher than the sky. If so—"

"Ereshkigal or Ishtar, who is more beautiful?"

"……what?"

The puzzled expression on Ishtar's face became more obvious, as if he suspected that he had really heard wrong.However, the stone gate did not repeat the question again.

"What kind of choice is this to torture the soul's absolute rationality! But the answer is too simple and easy to understand, of course it is the goddess—"

BIU!

——Waste, the useless Goddess made a sound like in a funny animation, and then was bounced away to an invisible place! ?

Xianyu looked at Ishtar in horror. The latter was still saying his name complacently while stepping through the gate a second ago, but the next second he was instantly BIU and flew to the sky by some force.

"I-sh-ta-er-!"

Xianyu knelt on the ground and shouted;

"……Fool."

The agreed seven major gates, but before the first threshold has been passed, victims have already appeared.

"Answer—"

Shimen has no emotion, and continues to question the next target coldly

"Answer—well, the little girl over there will forget it first, and the idiot next to you is you."

"So you still pick people! Damn it, I will definitely avenge Goddess Ishtar's revenge. No matter what the question is, just ask!"

"Answer—Ereshkigal and Ishtar..."

"Ailey."

Before Shimen finished asking the question, Xianyu answered first.

"—!?"

Shimen, who had always been icy, was shaken for the first time.

"Go through—"

Then, the stone gate opened the path to the next section.

"It seems that this is the correct answer, okay, let's continue~"

Xian Yu passed the first gate happily.

"What kind of questioning of the soul is this..."

It was rare for Anna not to hold back the desire to complain, and at the same time, she continued to go deep into the underworld with Xian Yu.

- the second door

"Answer——Ereshkigal or Ishtar, which goddess is more suitable for taking care of property?"

"Ailey!"

"Are you——answering without even thinking about it!?"

Shimen suddenly let out a melodious voice that was completely inconsistent with the previous deep voice.

"I always feel... this Shimen is very troublesome."

Anna frowned, but Xian Yu beside him waved his hands to show that there was no problem at all.

"Cough cough - let's go -"

Seemingly noticing his gaffe just now, Shimen coughed heavily, and then let the two of them pass by like this.

- the third door

"Answer—a partner who fights together, who is trusted, respected, and who can hold victory in his hands... Who do you think it will be?"

"Ai Lei +1!"

Xian Yu's body has turned into a repeating machine, using an infinite repeating system.

"Go... let's go."

- the fourth door

"Answer—"
